Who we are

Creative Youth Network is a registered charity based in Bristol, in the South West of England.

We are youth workers, creative professionals, volunteers and campaigners. We help all young people to reach their potential and live fulfilling lives, by building secure, positive relationships with them based on the unique needs of each person.

Our Trustees

Our board of trustees is responsible for the overall control and strategic development of Creative Youth Network.

All of our trustees are experts in their fields, with a passion for working with and for young people. They each volunteer their time to us, to ensure that we are doing everything we can to give young people from all backgrounds the opportunities they need to reach their potential.

Our Impact Report and Accounts

In 2016 we worked with 3437 young people – an increase of 11% from 2015. Many of these young people are marginalised: Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME), lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ), unemployed, not in education, suffering poor mental health, are in care (or are care leavers), are asylum seekers, refugees, or are disabled.

27% BAME

88 care leavers

74 asylum seekers

53 LGBT

262 young people not in education, employment or training

216 young people were part of our complimentary education programmes

2964 young people improved their mental and physical health, communication skills and relationships

We helped each one of these young people to turn a corner towards a more stable life, by offering consistency, emotional support and specialist training, based on the unique needs of each person.
